Description

8.30am Meet and greet with your English-speaking guide / driver in the hotel lobby, from where you will be taken for a 75-minute drive by luxurious private car or minivan to Otterlo, where you will be taken to the Kröller-Müller Museum, one of the nicest museums in the Netherlands within a spectacular surrounding.

The Kröller Müller Museum and Sculpture Garden are located in the National Park Hoge Veluwe, which covers more than 13,500 acres. The museum houses a world famous collection of fine art, mainly from the 19th and 20th centuries like for example Monet, Picasso, Isaac Israel, Mondrian, Latour, Toorop and many others. The focal points are the extensive range of works by Vincent Van Gogh (92 paintings and the second largest collection in the world!) and the amazing sculpture garden that covers 50 acres and is one of the largest in the world. You will see works by Rodin, Moore, Jean Dubuffet, Hepworth, Serra, Pan and others.

The Kröller-Müller museum and the Hoge Veluwe national park, the legacy of Mr. and Mrs. Kröller-Müller form a monumental ensemble of art, architecture and nature.

11.45am After this exciting visit there is time for lunch. In the picturesque village of Otterlo there are several local restaurants for a delicious Dutch lunch.

1pm Fully charged we continue with a 25-minute drive to Oosterbeek, for a tour through the Airborne Museum.

The Airborne museum, located in the original Villa Hartenstein reopened in September 2009 after a large renovation. It shows the course of events during the Battle of Arnhem, which took place in September 1944. The “Battle for the Rhine Bridge” was part of the operation “Market Garden”. British, American and Polish airborne forces were to capture the bridges over rivers and waterways from the Belgian border to Arnhem. There is an interesting video presentation where the course of the battle is set out. There are a large number of photographs, video with footage of the battle, authentic uniforms, equipment, weapons and other objects present a picture, both from the Allied and from the German point of view.

The awarded underground Airborne Experience showcases the war in all its intensity.

3.30pm From here, you will be taken back to your hotel in Amsterdam, where you have the remainder of the day for your own leisure. You will arrive back in Amsterdam around 5pm.

We loved our time in Amsterdam from the hotel Turen with a great location and amenities; to a fabuluous program that incorporated all of our
"must sees". Each morning we were met by a guide who was knowledgeable and fun. Each guide had made all of the necessary arrangements including tickets to the museums etc that were on the days agenda. I'd highly recommend them.

The day-long flower could not have been better. Our Dutch guide, Ronald Huang, was terrific. He showed us everything we could have asked for. The orchid grower he took us to was interesting and very welcoming in her green houses. We enjoyed the whole day. Perhaps the best was lunch with Ronald and his wife in their home in Lisse, NL. They were both great hosts to us and served us a very nice lunch. This day could not have worked better for us.

Ronald, of The Dutch Travel Advisor, was our private guide in the Netherlands for two days. He was extremely knowledgeable, well-organized and helpful in all respects. We also enjoyed his excellent sense of humor. It was like traveling with a family friend to the places and people that he loved best, in his homeland.

Amsterdam walking tour and blue line boat canal tour

Mark Quint was our EXCELLENT! Amsterdam walking Tour guide. We had two families age 60ish through 21 and he was able to engage everyone. Extremely knowledgeable and articulate. Astute in reading his audience.
The blue line tour is a generic tour which we knew but I might have hired a private boat and done early evening tour. No fault of boat line or my travel agent- it was exactly as described- but can feel like you are in a terrarium on hot afternoons- and we were lucky to have such wonderful warm weather.

Well worth it

We enjoyed the entire experience of visiting Amsterdam. We had a great guide who offered an unforgettable tour of everything to do and see in Amsterdam. We had a blast on the boat tour through the canals and will never forget his attention to detail and altering each day to incorporate other sites he knew that we would enjoy. There was no better way to see this city!

A wonderful first experience in the Netherlands.

Our Flower and Cheese tour with The Dutch Travel Advisor was everything we wanted and more. Miranda was a marvelous driver and guide. The tour and explanation she gave us of the Aalsmeer Flower Aution was so knowledgeable. My husband and I then truly enjoyed making cheese and touring the farm. It was quite an experience to meet the owners of the farm. If that was not enough we then met the owner of a bulb farm who really taught us a lot about his business and then took us to a friend’s farm who raises tulips. The whole day was unforgettable. We will be returning to the Netherlands and hope to use this company again.

Edwin was great on our day tour. Very knowledgeable about where we went and what we wanted to see. Full of facts. Very nice BMW to spend the day in. He was personable but straight forward as most of the Dutch are. Would definitely use him again.

Great experience with all excursions. Edwin was terrific and everything we had booked was a pleasant outing and informative. From cheese making on the farm...learning about and seeing them stop the working windmill and watch the inner workings .... to the flower mart....would highly recommend their organization to all!!!
